Summer could be very busy at a handful of Liberty County School System campuses.

School board members were presented with a list of major projects scheduled to be completed over the summer break at their meeting Tuesday, including a new roof at Midway Middle School and the start of interior renovations at Bradwell Institute.

The roof at Midway Middle School is in very poor condition and beyond its service life, said schools operations director Arnold Jackson. A bid opening was held March 30, and nine firms submitted bids. The best overall value, Jackson said, came from The Roofing Professionals, which is based in Bryan County. Their bid of $1.007 million also included a 20-year warranty for materials and labor.

Four other firms had lower bids, but they did not meet several key requirements, including proximity and proven experience in installing similar roofs, Jackson said.

There were six bids on interior renovations at Bradwell, with Rhowe Design Build being ranked as the best bid at $1.12 million. The first phase of the work will be done this summer and will include painting, carpeting, and installing trophy cases.

“Because Bradwell is so huge, it is difficult to get it all done in one phase,” Jackson said.

Work on both projects is set to start at the end of the school year and be completed by July 29. Funding for the work will come from educational special purpose local option sales tax, or ESPLOST, proceeds.

The canopies at three elementary schools — Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall and Waldo Pafford — also are on tap for replacement. Jackson said the damaging wind and rain from Hurricane Helene led to the need to replace the canopies. The school’s insurance carrier, Georgia School Boards Association, was notified, and the bulk of the cost will be taken care of by the system’s insurance policy. The school system will have to fund $13,940 of the work. Dabbs Williams was the lowest bidder on that project with a price tag of $198,000.

School board members are expected to approve the bids at their next meeting, which is set for May 12.

Board members also will consider a bid to replace in-classroom cameras. The school system has used Kloud-12 cameras for the last six years.

“Every one of our classrooms has the camera system,” said Dr. John Ryan, executive director of media and technology for the school system.

Officials recommended approving a bid from Kloud-12 for $578,864, which will provide 203 Kloud-12 cameras with a five-year license and 379 five-year licenses and support extensions
